Analysis

The Santa Ana Hydroelectric Plant is a small-scale CDM hydro project in Colombia with a VVB-confirmed additionality assessment and a jurisdictional baseline, but it is undermined by six documented contradictions across key parameters (baseline method, leakage justification, ex-ante lifetime ERR, FPIC status, additionality test type, and claimed ERR). The project delivered roughly 84% of its pro-rata expectation for the monitored period, which is within normal hydrological variability, yet the 3.3× discrepancy in the lifetime ex-ante estimate between the 2013 validation report and the 2016 monitoring report raises material data-reliability concerns.
